Transmission Form System
The project brief and Test Pilot forms were built as a small operational system with validation, honeypots, local fallback behaviour, and Resend delivery.

Honeypot filtering
Email-disabled local mode
The work
The Transmission route and homepage forms now share a submission layer. Project briefs and Test Pilot requests are validated on the server, screened with a honeypot, and sent through Resend when the required environment variables exist.
The useful bit
Local development does not pretend to send mail. When Resend is not configured, the forms return a clear email-disabled status so the interface can be tested without leaking fake success states.
Build notes
Stack notes
- Zod schemas keep project brief and Test Pilot payloads explicit.
- Server actions handle submissions from both the homepage and /transmission.
- Resend delivery is gated by RESEND_API_KEY and RESEND_FROM_EMAIL.
